It allows the executive branch a blank check on action and spending under the circumstances of a &quot;health emergency.&quot; If I were in the Massachusetts legislature, I wouldn&#39;t vote for it.W.

I would say that I&#39;m not sure whether Mr. Obama has any consious designs fo using Senator Rockefeller&#39;s bill to hush dissent, but I would definitely agree that this is part of a deliberate program on Obama&#39;s part to consolidate the government&#39;s power- which he thinks is ultimately better (for his interests, if not ours)<br /><br /><b>@Tajitj</b> Thanks for your kind words and excellent analysis on Rand Paul&#39;s Senate campaign. I truly think he&#39;s our best chance for a decisive electoral victory this 2010. He&#39;ll be speaking tomorrow in Nashville and I can&#39;t wait to attend!W. E.

Even winning the primary will be a big step. I there races to be a reforendum on the last 10 years of Conservative leadership. The idea of new blood in the party and trying to get away from these hand picked insiders is something I think the average voter can connect with.
